Just a bit lifeless. Not sure what it’s for.

Named “tempo” but not particularly fast, or responsive, or fun. Not very cushioned, and felt very budget.

Between cushioning and stretchable upper these shoes just feel good. Almost can't wait until their running life is over so I can just wear them to walk in.
